Frequently Asked Questions

A rental car typically costs 26$ a day. However, the costs start at 9$ per day and can go as high as 90$ per day. The final price is directly influenced by the category of rental vehicles, the vehicle's features, your age, the date of booking, the length of the rental, etc.

When going on vacation, renting a car in Chennai gives you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and on your own schedule. Because of this, it is virtually always a smart decision to get behind the wheel.It is always beneficial to have the freedom to travel during times that are less likely to be crowded on public transportation, such as early in the morning or late at night, should you find that to be more convenient.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Chennai, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Chennai have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Toyota Aygo is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Chennai. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 13$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series, price starts at 59$ per day.
Most rental cars in Chennai are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The search result and your voucher both show the most likely model. The car class is reserved at all rental car agencies, nonetheless, in accordance with global car rental regulations. When you arrive at the office, you can choice the color and model of the car you want. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

However, in some cases you can reserve a particular model. If such an option is available, a special notation will appear next to the car in the search results.

Major car rental agencies are slowly starting to accept debit cards, but you should verify this before making a reservation because it remains the exception rather than the rule.
